The thread on route London 126 included this:
The 126 Sunday extension to Bexleyheath replaced the 160A over the Eltham to Welling section via Eltham Park Station and Rochester Way. The 124A had been created in 1960, eight years prior to that, to replace the special journeys on the 124 to Bexley Hospital which in turn had replaced the special journeys on the 132.
This reminded me that the 88 was extended on Sundays to serve Banstead Hospital, since this mental hospital (can we still call them these?) served the residents of Westminster through which the 88 passed.
This got me thinking; which other London routes were extended to mental hospitals on Sundays, and what boroughs did the patients originate from?
